Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Croxton, Norfolk
Local bath resealing for Croxton: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath resealing in Croxton without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Croxton and across Norfolk.

Questions from Croxton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Do you cover Croxton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Croxton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What affects the price in Croxton
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croxton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath resealing in Croxton?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
